Red States- Strong Correlation with Least Education

formatting link

Why are we not surprised, large populations of pathetically gullible and easily manipulated ignorant people. I'm sure they love reading Uncle Eric or whatever that Maybury calls himself.

The red states tend to be populated by people who grow food, drill oil wells, manufacture stuff, raise kids. The high-density urban states are more popolated with lawyers, stock brokers, app coders, singles, government employees, waiters and bartenders and barristas with Masters degrees, and poor people in high-crime public housing with little or no family structure. Consumers of what those red-state-folks make.

Education ain't everything. Having a degree in law, art, sociolology, education, or English literature doesn't make a person morally superior, but it does make them vote Democrat.

The US population is subject to fads, but long-term seems to get things about right. I can think of one silly fad that's about over: starts with the letter O.

Why are you always in such a bummed-out mood? Design something; you'll feel better.

That's a bunch of friggin bullshyt and you know it! Most of the skilled lab or in the cesspool states come from out of state, the majority of uneducate d locals are useless. Some large corporations have taken to paying them a s mall bonus if they make into work for 30 consecutive work days without call ing in sick.

High school dropouts and minimally educated people don't make a goddammed t hing!

You're a joke.

We do know that you aren't all that enthusiastic about it, and spent the bu lk of your undergraduate time on practical electronics, rather than acquiri ng a theoretical understanding of what you were doing.

Aesop wrote a fable about that.

And allows them to spell sociology correctly. It also discourages them from slinging around terms like morally superior, which don't means anything sp ecific but do make handy terms of abuse.

One could hope that the Tea Party was also going to be recognised as a sill y fad. Sadly, the skills in critical thinking that reveal the defects in Te a Party thinking aren't developed in the US primary and secondary education systems, and James Arthur and John Larkin remind us that you can get throu gh US tertiary education without acquiring them.

How would you know? What you call design, everybody else calls mindless tin kering. Generating a new product every fortnight doesn't exactly leave time for cultivating deep and revolutionary insight.

Then they use a bunch stuff that requires licensing via a certification exa mination, so even after a few years even a non-degree farmer has the equiva lent of an associates. Farming hasn't been a low skill profession for quite some time.

And not all engineers wear a suit to work and sit in front of a terminal. T here are quite a few engineers in the mechanical, construction and structur al trades who hit the streets in coveralls for physical/mental labor.

Larkin doesn't know about any of this so he assumes these people have littl e education and have settled for a menial labor job.

Not at all. I have great respect for skilled people who don't have an academic bent. You don't need to have a diploma to be a good carpenter, electrician, machinist, musician, installer, farmer, concrete finisher, fisherman, or chef. There are all sorts of valuable things a person can do that don't require French or calculus.

There are a whole lot of college grads waiting tables, fitting shoes, making hand-drip coffee, or not working at all.

YOU started this thread by mocking "pathetically gullible" people without college degrees. Make up your mind.

Do you have a college degree? Are you working at some high intellectual level?

(Sloman: yes and no, respectively.)

There's nothing to stop people with college degrees being pathetically gull ible. You have a college degree and still latch onto loads of deceptive den ialist propaganda against anthropogenic global warming, and seem to believe every last pathetic misleading lie.

Tertiary education is widely supposed to instil critical thinking, but whil e you can lead a horse's ass to education, you can't make him think.

Too true. I'm out-thinking you on your PPL, but that isn't exactly performi ng at a high intellectual level - one has to dumb down the output to a leve l that the intended audience has some hope of following.

People maxed out at Bachelors level can hardly be said to have an "academic bent."

You're lumping together a whole bunch of incomparably diverse occupations a s not requiring a "diploma" when that's not the case at all. And just exact ly what is an "installer"?

Once again your really bad reading comprehension is catching up with you. M y statement was about "high school dropouts and minimally educated people." The statistics for level of education are an indication of the density of the "high school dropouts and minimally educated people" within the general population of the state.

(Larkin: not really and no, respectively)

And who do you think that gruber was talking ablut when he said the "stupid " voters? The redneck republicans or the masses of democrats who voted for obama? Seems like in a private moment of reflecttion even the democrat le aders know who the stupid ones are?
